Automatic updates

fman includes a mechanism for automatic updates. The way it works depends on
your operating system.

On Windows, fman
uses the same technology as Google Chrome
to keep itself up-to-date. You should automatically receive each new version
within 24 hours of its release. If you don't want to wait that long, you can
force an update check by deleting the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\​Software\​fman\​Update\​LastChecked
and then running the task fmanUpdate...UA in the Windows Task
Scheduler.

On Mac, fman checks for updates when you start it. If a
new version is available, fman downloads a small patch file (usually only
a few hundred kilobytes in size) and applies it when you close fman.
You can therefore force-update fman on Mac by starting it, waiting a minute
for it to download the patch, and then closing it again. The next time you
start fman, you should have the new version.

On Ubuntu, fman is added to the list of installed apps in
your system's package manager. It is updated along with your other apps (and
on your own schedule). If you'd like to force an immediate update from the
Terminal, you can use the following command:

sudo update-fman

On Arch Linux, automatic updates are disabled by default.
Here's how to enable them:
